曲：忘記你我做不到 - 張學友
実は自分が一人のとき色んな事を考えました。でも、自分の気持ちがそんなに不安定なのはもう我慢できないです。
filled with thoughts about the past, about the people who influenced me a lot after dinner at empire that day with sharon kuah, kok aun and jeremy. as i sat at table a, looking at the place around me, i was hit by the fact that this was the place where i really grew up. the place that made velda who she is today. the tiles on the wall, the marble tables, the wooden chairs.. something happened at every part of the restaurant - the kitchen, the office, ah teng's, stations 1 and 2, the outdoor area, the dimsum kitchen..
sharon was someone i havent seen in a loong while. she was the person who was always with me throughout that time when i was fresh out of secondary school working in a totally new environment. ah ford was someone who stood by me, all the time. he never gave up on me, and looked after me in his sweet quiet way. i owe him a lot, really. havent really had the chance to thank him for all that he has done for me, for making me smile when i didnt feel like smiling. kok aun, who in his abrupt way, managed to accept all the barbs i throw at him, and being such a great friend to be with. empire changed a lot, but everything else is still there. ah kent, for not giving up on me, and always worrying i wont be happy. thank you. there are still many many many people who have influenced my life in one way or another, but i cnt thank them all now.
but people i hold dear to my heart have left, one by one.
as i walked out of empire, past courtyard and back, past chijmes, as i took the bus home from the bus stop, as i got off at my stop, as i walked home.. i remembered a lot of stuff. i know its not time to reminsce about the past, but these memories are what keep me going, especially when im not in the best of moods.
perhaps its the sun this morning that shone at me straight in the face and said, "velda, you are around people who love you so much they dont want to see you hurt."
how many times have i disappointed them? yet how many times have they pulled me back up?
she let me cry on her shoulder, and then said, "okay, you feeling better? go wash your face, and come back smiling, alright?"
he shook his head and hit me lightly on mine, "why cry for this, you stupid girl? come, you got time? we go yum cha."
he stopped me on my way out and said, "no, she cannot go down yet, later then she go, i want to knock some sense into her."thank you.
velda.
